Description
Homeworld: Emergence was originally released as "Homeworld: Cataclysm". "Cataclysm" is now a registered trademark of Blizzard Entertainment, Inc., and the game has been renamed to avoid confusion. Other than the subtitle change, the game is identical to the game released in 2000.

15 years ago, we were awakened from the cryo-trays. We had survived the journey to Hiigara, our lost homeworld. Then they told us that the planet we left behind had been destroyed. Our families... friends... everyone not on the mothership - killed. Destroyed by an enemy we never knew.

We realized there was nothing for us on Hiigara. No property, no rights, no future for the "Sleepers". So we returned to the stars, fully awake this time, to work and rebuild our lives.

It is ironic, then, that we are the ones to discover an alien capable of exterminating all life in the galaxy. And only we are in a position to destroy it.


Fifteen years after returning to their homeworld, a Hiigaran sect unwittingly releases an alien horror. Now it's up to you to commandeer the Kuun-Lan, a Hiigaran mining vessel, and transform it into a combat-ready mothership. Build and control a fleet of ships, research technologies, and harvest resources while you search for a way to eradicate the alien threat before it is too late.

The best version of Homeworld

As the title says. The story and the mechanical changes from the first game make this the best for me.

Cataclysm

Absolutley love this game. By far the best in the current released HW games (not including HW3) and the story takes this game to places that few games have touched upon over the years. If your and RTS space fan then this game is a must.

Signature horror of the campaign intact

Not sure if you're familiar with this but campaign in Homeworld games tend to be horrific, plunging you to the depths of despair every now and then by throwing at you seemingly impossible to carry out tasks, sudden turn of events that astonish you, and just pure enemy cruelty. I must say, the playing experience here is much worse due to the fact that setting your units' stance to "Aggressive" doesn't seem to work at all and you will have to personally order each individual unit or else they will be mere sitting ducks - especially the fighters and corvettes that can be instant gibbed by ramming frigates since they won't even bother to dodge the ramming attack... nor retaliate against fighters and bombers attacking them... until they die or you give the order that is.

Doesn't work

Will they fix the game? Maybe someday but as of right now the game doesn't work. Win10 x64 Creators update and a Nvidia GTX 1080 on the newest drivers. The game gets through the opening ad movies and crashs after the 3DFX logo.

Not so sure

Always wanted to try this game since it was out. 2021 and it's finally happening, but to be honest, I can't get used to the controls and interface. They freak me out. Everything else seems really cool and all, so you should at least give it a try and maybe it's more intuitive to you than it is to me.
